Interview with G.M. DiDesidero, Author of Undrowned
What's the story behind the story? What inspired you to write Undrowned?
Several traditional Chickasaw stories inspired Undrowned, but one stands apart—the story of the King of the Tie Snakes. While delivering a message to a neighboring village, the chief’s son impulsively tosses his father’s ceremonial vessel into a stream and instantly regrets it. He dives after it, only to be dragged into an underwater cavern where the floors and walls writhe with snakes. There, he meets the King of the Tie Snakes. I found my character, Jasper, in this boy, and Undrowned imagines why the King befriends him.
If you had to pick theme songs for the main characters of Undrowned, what would they be?
What's your favorite genre to read? Is it the same as your favorite genre to write?
I'm eclectic and enjoy reading in most genres, but I lean heavily toward sci-fi/fantasy, mystery, historical fiction, and nonfiction.
What books are on your TBR pile right now?
Currently, I'm reading Everything Is Tuberculosis by John Green. I will eventually read and probably love Andy Weir's Project Hail Mary. Why it’s taken me so long, even I don’t understand. Also on my list: The Buffalo Hunter Hunter by Stephen Graham Jones; Human Acts by Han Kang, translated by Deborah Smith.
What scene in your book was your favorite to write?
The scene where Jasper finally meets the Horned Serpent and his bravado fails him is foreshadowed from the beginning. It’s my favorite scene. I had Jasper’s quirks down by the time I wrote it and knew his reaction to the snakes would be atypical, since goofball humor is his shield. I love seeing a main character finally step into their arc.
Do you have any quirky writing habits? (lucky mugs, cats on laps, etc.)
Uh-oh, confession time. I tend to operate on a time deficit and make heavy use of writing sprints, but if I'm not making progress, I'll get up out of my chair and do some push-ups or lunges. That makes me sound really fit, but no. I am not fit.
Do you have a motto, quote, or philosophy you live by?
Live simply; remain grateful.
If you could choose one thing for readers to remember after reading your book, what would it be?
It’s my hope that readers see how vibrant and diverse the clans of the Chickasaw Nation are. Indigenous peoples are not one-dimensional museum relics. We’re thriving, dynamic movers within our communities. Our stories are still being told.

Interview with Eileen Schnabel, Author of Kep Westguard: The Second Battle of Saratoga
What's the story behind the story? What inspired you to write Kep Westguard: The Second Battle of Saratoga?
I’m a mom to two boys who loved when I’d drop them into history during bedtime stories, whether they were parachuting behind enemy lines in WWII or caught in the middle of a ship battle. Eventually, they got too old for bedtime stories, but I wasn’t ready to let go of the adventures. That’s when I started writing the Kep Westguard series.
If you had to pick theme songs for the main characters of Kep Westguard: The Second Battle of Saratoga, what would they be?
Definitely the original Rocky theme song. Just like Rocky, America in the Revolution was the underdog, up against the greatest army in the world. It’s all about grit, determination, and fighting for something bigger than yourself.
What's your favorite genre to read? Is it the same as your favorite genre to write?
I love mysteries and adventures, and the Kep Westguard books are always a mix of both.
What books are on your TBR pile right now?
Mostly research for future Kep Westguard adventures. At the moment, I’m studying the Battle of Valcour Island.
What scene in your book was your favorite to write?
I loved the moment when TJ decides to take Benedict Arnold’s place in battle using a death mask. It was such an ingenious solution. The time-travel team has to live by its wits. TJ’s creativity and boldness really shine, and it shows how resourceful the kids have to be to survive and succeed.
Do you have any quirky writing habits? (lucky mugs, cats on laps, etc.)
I must write in a crowded place, like a coffee shop. I love the energy of people around me—even though I’ve got headphones in. Back in law school, I always studied at a busy bagel shop. That background buzz just fuels me.
Do you have a motto, quote, or philosophy you live by?
Freedom doesn’t—and didn’t—come free. I try to honor and appreciate all the sacrifices that were made to create a free country.
If you could choose one thing for readers to remember after reading your book, what would it be?
I hope readers come away appreciating the hardships and sacrifices that shaped our country, but also the incredible resilience of the people who lived through them. I want them to realize that we carry that same resilience today. Hard times can make us stronger.

Interview with Symon Cope, Author of Sober! A Life Beyond Pain
What's the story behind the story? What inspired you to write Sober! : A Life Beyond Pain?
My inspiration for writing this book comes from the depths of my own struggle and the hope that no one has to face pain alone. I wanted to show that even in our darkest moments, there is a path to healing and a life beyond suffering. As I learned, “The human spirit is stronger than anything that can happen to it.” My journey is proof that recovery is possible, and I hope my story inspires you to take the first step toward your own freedom.
If you had to pick theme songs for the main characters of Sober! : A Life Beyond Pain, what would they be?
What's your favorite genre to read? Is it the same as your favorite genre to write?
Biography, Autobiography, Memoir, and History.
What books are on your TBR pile right now?
‘Dylan Goes Electric’ by Elijah Wood; ‘The Wichita Lineman: Searching in the Sun for the World’s Greatest Unfinished Song’ by Dylan Jones; ‘Ninety-Nine Glimpses of Princess Margaret’ by Craig Brown; and ‘Anyone Who Had a Heart’ by Burt Bacharach.
What scene in your book was your favorite to write?
My favourite scenes were my encounters with the ghost of my dead cat, Pudding, and our relationship.
Do you have any quirky writing habits? (lucky mugs, cats on laps, etc.)
I can’t write without music complementing my mood – so it can be anything from BeBop Jazz to folk, soft rock, reggae, Americana, psychedelic, trash rock, Krautrock, or electronic dance and experimental – infinite possibilities. Spotify is a wondrous thing!
Do you have a motto, quote, or philosophy you live by?
Not really, but how about: “Sometimes it’s the people who you imagine nothing of who do the things that no one imagines,” by Alan Turing; or “I’m a street-walking cheetah with a heart full of napalm…” by Iggy Pop & The Stooges.
If you could choose one thing for readers to remember after reading your book, what would it be?
“That was a cracking good read! And if you’re ready for change, let this book be your guide—your new life can start today.”
